W L Dudley

I don't think he had a clue of the nicotine, but often credited as the first to publish on the dangers of carbon monoxide in cigarette smoking was William Lofland Dudley. Not sure where in history to put more scientific matters; it's health but not quite 'public' health. Cake (talk) 21:15, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

Hitler's addiction

"During the Great Depression Adolf Hitler condemned his earlier smoking habit as a waste of money,".

Wasn't he forbidden to smoke by doctors because of his lungs who underwent gassing during WW1 ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.176.120.156 (talk) 08:31, 18 December 2013 (UTC)

Radioactivity in tobacco and positive health effects link

I think two new additions need to be made to this article. First, most smokers do not know that farmers make tobacco radioactive by using cheap sulfur fertilizers containing polonium-210. http://www.epa.gov/radiation/sources/tobacco.html

It also should should mention positive medical aspects of smoking like how schizophrenics use it to self medicate, lower alzheimers incidence and any other pertinent information. I believe a link to this article would work. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Health_effects_of_tobacco

Effects on health

Shouldn't tobacco page be less green? Now it looks like being vegan... dunno... some smoker lungs pictures and so on... just beacause health effects is the most scientific thing one can say about tobacco...? And actually tobacco induces alzeimer, doesnt cure it (just in response to that guy who talked about good health effects)--131.175.28.130 (talk) 23:39, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
